Today, you can do a lot with the laser cutting and engraving technology. As a leading supplier of laser machines, we have seen the evolution of laser markers. From jewelry design to manufacturing aircrafts, laser technology has found several areas of applications over the years.
As per the experience we have gathered by working with various customer needs, we put forward 7 notable advantages of laser marking:
1. Mark on multiple surfaces with no contact
Laser can be user to engrave information pieces on a number of surfaces such as metal, acrylic, wood, plastics, leather, and ceramics. This feature of laser markers have helped our clients by using a common machine to get the necessary markings for a variety of products and packages.
Laser printing is performed using focused light. There is no contact of the laser creating tool with the marking surface. And the machine owners do not have to spend on a lot on manpower, printing die or parts that are required in other forms of printing.
2. Low cost marking solution
Compared to other marking solutions where a die or some special treatment is required, a laser marker saves costs for our clients. With easy integration into the production line, flawless and consistent printing can be achieved with laser technology in any industrial space.
The cost of repairing wear and tear of the die, replacement of the die, repeated creation of new die for printing is not at all required for laser machine users. Therefore, laser machines can be maintained at low costs.
3. Prevent counterfeiting
At Prakash Laser, we have come across clients who benefited from this function of laser markers. Illegal activities like replacement of genuine products with fake ones can be prevented with laser marking that cannot be hampered easily.
4. Faster output
Laser machines are high-precision and high-speed devices with faster printing technology. Many of our clients have completed rush orders by taking advantage of this function. The speed of a laser machine can be as high as 5 to 7 m/s.
It is very easy to operate the computer connected with your laser machine. The printing program on the computer is well designed to give control over the precision and accuracy to the user.
Over the years, wit developments in laser printing technologies, we find more and more production line workers getting accustomed to the printing process very easily.
5. Permanent Markings
For products with longer shelf life, laser printing is the best option. The markings are permanent and won’t fade off or peel off like paper stickers.
We have come across clients who switched to laser marking systems because they discovered that other forms of markings were getting off during transport, rough handling of goods, and other environmental conditions.
6. Readability
With the precision of the laser machines, any kind of marking can be made in a clean manner that is easily readable. Even small markings are very clear with laser technology.
2D images, elegant patterns, numbers, product information, and more can be easily engraved in minimum size on a suitable surface with maximum clarity.
7. Additional Treatment not required
Unlike other marking procedures, pre- and post-treatments of any kind are not required for laser marking. This in turn, saves time and money for clients.
Chemicals or other fluids are not required for laser printing. Due to absence of such substances, laser engravings are safer for printing edible product packages.
